  1. Wow.! How exciting was that.!! ????
  2. He deviates, but is it clear whether intentional or indeed to cause deliberate obstruction.? Could one argue that there was still space on the left but Stannard bulldozed straight into Impey instead.? I think with neither rider making much of it this will likely blow over ...
  3. I think it was a tailwind too. Fantastic viewing.!!
  4. Don't know when, but definitely crossed the line without a saddle. LOL Fantastic to see TQA winning again.! ????
  5. Pumps are to give to your mates when they puncture and you need a longer break and a good laugh at their expense.! ???? CO2
  6. What about CO2 for roadside fixes.? Hand pump is a good backup and even at 70psi should at least get you home or to a fuel station forecourt where you can top up.
  7. Ok, so it's apparent that this weekend warrior will never have those numbers... Time to move on.? Perhaps Khabib's available for a few rounds, or maybe I can take Tiger on the mashie course at the River Club or the Elite of any other sport maybe. ????
  8. Well done Mauro and TQA.!
  9. Walking away is what keeps this kind of activity going, but sadly, there probably wouldn't be enough interest from authorities to pursue the matter and these cons know it.! ????
  10. Cycle stores appear to have quite a markup on Gorilla tape ... or perhaps it's just the result of volumes. R100 seems to be fair price via hardware outlets.
  11. I've got a headache after seeing that.! ????
  12. I missed the start so imagine my surprise when just 2 laps in the leader already has a gap in excess of a minute. Wow ! Lecomte is so dominant at the moment.
  13. Certainly avoid using light weight race tyres on the trainer. Trainer tyres are worth getting. I'm using a Tacx at the moment but I don't think it's as good as the Continental yellow one which I used for years before needing to be replaced ...
  14. Don't think I've ever seen someone blow themselves up the way he did.! He is MvP, so won't write him off just yet but it will take some miraculous even for him to come back.
  15. Meerendal.?
  16. Looks like they were short of a workstand and put the bike in the vice instead. The brakes and leaking sealant is unfortunate but can happen (both can be finicky), but the damaged seatpost is unacceptable.!! At least it sounds like they are trying to rectify it.
  17. Not your specific rim but a reference to DRC for what it's worth. Look out for the posts by Johan Bornman ... he was the go to wheel guy at the time. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/43059-how-good-are-drc-mt17-rims/
  18. Unless I misunderstood, impression I got was that the problem persisted after having bike at LBS.? Thought they would have diagnosed and corrected the problem with first visit.
  19. https://capegrosports.co.za/collections/seatposts/products/k-force-seatpost-sb25-27-2-x-350mm https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/seat-posts/3317/new-carbon-seatpost-316-308-272-instock-a
  20. Suspect it's a bit late to this party too ... Great deals, but once there's extra 40% off already discounted prices, then there generally isn't much left.
  21. That's a whole other story.! LOL To quote the OP: "I took the bike to my local bike shop took a quick look at it. They are a pretty reputable shop." They are pretty reputable. Surely they can't be compared to the store in the other thread. LOL
  22. I could understand the paint shop possibly butchering the rebuild, but how is it that the LBS got it so wrong too.? Anyway, at least it's sorted without too much extra cost.
  23. Yeah, Cyclelab/CWC have/had a few odd sizes/last of range if lucky. Equipe R2500, Campionissimo R3500. So if you're XS or xxxl they may still have something.
  24. That sounds like the good Black Friday deals but even those are becoming more and more rare ... Assos are great but becoming harder to justify. Entry level now costs what was once top tier. It was not so long ago that spending R2500 on a S5 Fi.13 seemed ludicrous. LOL
  25. Some can sell, some can service ... very few do both well.!
